- Aro Granite Industries Limited engages in the manufacturing and trading of processed granite slabs, tiles and engineered quartz products. The company produces polished, flamed, honed, brushed, leather and caress finish granite slabs and tiles from Indian, African, Brazilian, Norwegian, Finnish, Iranian and Ukrainian sources; cut-to-size granite products; and quartz slabs and tiles in polished, honed and leather finishes. Incorporated in 1988 and headquartered in Hosur, India, with facilities in Hosur (a 100% export-oriented unit) and Jaipur (SEZ unit), Aro Granite operates an annual production capacity exceeding 1 million square meters for slabs and 360,000 square meters for tiles, serving export markets in over 50 countries including the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and the Far East.
Aro Granite maintains two primary business segments comprising manufacturing of natural stone granite slabs and tiles and manufacturing of engineered quartz slabs. Its product portfolio features over 100 shades of premium granites and quartzite, processed using Italian-imported machinery and supported by a 100% inspection system for quality control. The company targets international construction, residential and commercial customers requiring high-end natural and engineered stone solutions.
Recent strategic developments include the 2019 commissioning of its Jaipur slab manufacturing facility to access North Indian quarries and expand production capacity by 150,000 square meters annually; the 2021 launch and subsequent ramp-up of quartz stone production at Hosur to 63.75% capacity utilization amid rising global demand; and the installation of a multi-wire granite cutting machine at Hosur to address raw material challenges and enhance efficiency. In fiscal 2024, the company executed a shift to a stock-and-sell model, implemented prudent capital expenditures totaling approximately 20 crores for future quartz capacity doubling, and reduced long-term debt by 38.86% to strengthen its balance sheet amid macroeconomic pressures. These initiatives position Aro Granite to mitigate export market volatility and capitalize on recovering global construction demand.
